Popular Post sacentaur Posted July 22, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2017 Best SDCC in at least a decade - there's a plethora of GA books in the room, just about every dealer I've spoken with is reporting strong sales, like... --an original owner Centaur collection, new to market. --bunches of low-to-mid grade Bakers. --early DC pre-hero books, including New Fun 3-6, More Fun 7 and 8, and pre-Batman Detectives. --Berk books. -Spirit sections. --EC's, including Gaines' copies of course. --killer Fox GGA books. --Timelys. --Silver Age Marvels doing extremely well. As much as we denigrate the Con for the crowds, traffic, parking, and hotels, plus the shrinking vintage comic presence, this has turned out to be a great show... more later. thehumantorch, circumstances, Sqeggs and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Steve; How extensive and complete is this OO Centaur collection and what type of condition are they in? Has this collection already been graded and at one of the dealer booths or is it still in raw condition? Is it good enough that we can all stop bidding on the AMF Centaur's in the Heritage Auction that is currently underway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N e r V Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Perhaps the most valuable item at the SDCC. A near mint Hall H Saturday wrist band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it good enough that we can all stop bidding on the AMF Centaur's in the Heritage Auction that is currently underway? Two dozen higher grade books at the Con, early AMF, KDF, and some FPS. Other lower grade books were sold previously. The seller is holding onto part of the collection for the time being. They are raw and priced aggressively. The Heritage Centaurs are another new to market OO collection that surfaced in the Midwest earlier this year.

Blame Comicononomics https://www.wired.com/story/economics-comic-con/ I understand the cost to anyone traveling from outside San Diego to do business at the con but like anything else you have to weigh your overhead vs profit margins. I still know more than a few who seem to be able to make it work. I never understood how Mile High made a great profit with their current business which I find some of their grading questionable and very inconsistent. Their prices in many cases are far, far from reality as well. I say this as someone who bought from them as a kid many years ago. It's no surprise to me that their large space at the show coupled with product that probably wasn't right for making the kind of money needed to cover costs and pricing that usually wasn't competitive that after years of whining he left. They are one of those vendors that had been there a while that I will notice as being gone but also one that never offered anything I wanted to buy at their prices.

woowoo Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) What is the cost for 1 table Travel Room food for 3 days? When I went to con's in the 80's it was 40 bucks plus gas and food well worth it. the 90s it was 100 bucks gas and food still well worth it and it was all Comics with lots of star trec fans Edited July 23, 2017 by woowoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
